68% of the scores are within 1 standard deviation of the mean -80, 120 95% of the scores are within 2 standard deviations of the mean -60, 140 99.7% of the scores are within 3 standard deviations of the mean -40, 180
Anything that is normally distributed has certain properties. One is that the bulk of scores will be near the mean and the farther from the mean you are, the less common the score. Specifically, about 68% of anything that is normally distributed falls within one standard deviation of the mean. That means that 68% of IQ scores fall between 85 and 115 (the mean being 100 and standard deviation being 15) AND 68% of adult male heights fall between 65 and 75 inches (the mean being 70 and I am estimating a standard deviation of 5). Basically, even though the means and standard deviations change, something that is normally distributed will keep these probabilities (relative to the mean and standard deviation). By standardizing these numbers (changing the mean to 0 and the standard deviation to 1) we can use one table to find the probabilities for anything that is normally distributed.
When using Chebyshev's Theorem the minimum percentage of sample observations that will fall within two standard deviations of the mean will be __________ the percentage within two standard deviations if a normal distribution is assumed Empirical Rule smaller than greater than the same as
It means that 95% of the values in the data set falls within 2 standard deviations of the mean value.
Nearly all the values in a sample from a normal population will lie within three standard deviations of the mean. Please see the link.

You may be referring to the statistical term 'outlier(s)'. Also, there is a rule in statistics called the '68-95-99 Rule'. It states that in a normally distributed dataset approximately 68% of the observations will be within plus/minus one standard deviation of the mean, 95% within plus/minus two standard deviations, and 99% within plus/minus three standard deviations. So if your data follow the classic bell-shaped curve, roughly 1% of the measures should fall beyond three standard deviations of the mean.
95% is within 2 standard deviations of the mean.
68.2%
The 68-95-99.7 rule states that in a normally distributed set of data, approximately 68% of all observations lie within one standard deviation either side of the mean, 95% lie within two standard deviations and 99.7% lie within three standard deviations.Or looking at it cumulatively:0.15% of the data lie below the mean minus three standard deviations2.5% of the data lie below the mean minus two standard deviations16% of the data lie below the mean minus one standard deviation50 % of the data lie below the mean84 % of the data lie below the mean plus one standard deviation97.5% of the data lie below the mean plus two standard deviations99.85% of the data lie below the mean plus three standard deviationsA normally distributed set of data with mean 100 and standard deviation of 20 means that a score of 140 lies two standard deviations above the mean. Hence approximately 97.5% of all observations are less than 140.

99.7% of scores fall within -3 and plus 3 standard deviations around the mean in a normal distribution.
I believe the standard deviations are measured from the median, not the mean.1 Standard Deviation is 34% each side of median, so that is 68% total.2 Standard Deviations is 48% each side of median, so that is 96% total.
About 81.5%
80%
